Quick take
A long-shank J hook with forged shank and offset point, ideal for live bait and large saltwater game fish.
This 45-piece pack of O'Shaughnessy hooks has a ringed eye and a long, straight shank, which suits long natural baits such as whole fish heads, tails, squid or crabs. Anglers targeting sea bass, cod, bluefish or striped bass can rig it with natural bait or trail it on a trolling rig. The pack spans sizes from 1/0 to 10/0, and its stainless steel build is made for saltwater as well as freshwater use.
Best for
- Trolling with live or dead bait
- Inshore and offshore saltwater fishing
- Sea bass, snapper, bluefish and large stripers
Skip if
- You fish small panfish or trout; use smaller hooks
- You want a circle hook for catch-and-release; this is a J hook
Strengths
- Long shank accommodates whole fish baits and squid
- Forged design provides strength for large aggressive fish
- Offset point catches quickly as fish turns
Trade-offs
- Long shank makes this harder to set deep in a small fish's mouth
- J hook is more likely to be swallowed than circle hook
- Stainless steel rusts if not rinsed and dried after saltwater use
